At the premiere of one of this composer's pieces, Saint-Saens, the pianist, refused to wait for applause because he disliked the frequent modulations. The Mass for three voices by this composer of a Piano Quintet in F Minor contains the best-known setting of Thomas Aquinas's hymn Panis Angelicus. The opening of one of his better-known works is often compared to Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto; that work was dedicated to Louis Diémer and is called Symphonic Variations. The Count sounds his (*) hunting horn against the backdrop of church bells and chants in a symphonic poem composed by this man called Le Chasseur Maudit. He also composed a three-movement work whose second movement features a poorly-received section in which the English horn plays a melody over the plucked harp and strings. For 10 points, name this Belgian organist whose only symphony was 1888's Symphony in D Minor.
